Permitting

Shoener’s comprehensive site assessment and permitting services will provide specialized assistance from project design, through regulatory and public presentations, to final approval. More than providing good technical advice, Shoener helps you find a strategy to work your way through the regulatory maze to get your project built. Our staff has held federal and state government management positions, so we understand what it takes to obtain project approval from regulatory agencies.

Shoener has become recognized as the go-to expert in stormwater management, design and permitting for renewable energy projects. In Pennsylvania, Shoener has been involved with the permitting of over 20 wind farmsand provided consulting services for over 70% of the State's wind energy projects.

No project is too big or too small. Shoener can help obtain permits for large, complex utility projects to small, simple residential buildings. For example, we have helped clients on large wind energy facilities with over eighty wind turbines to simple residential driveways that require a single permit to cross a small stream.
